the last gentleman

Chapter 694 Beheading
The memory palace shared by Yi Chen and William-【Library】

There is no one sitting here, the empty library is no longer as clean as before, but permeated with silver sea water, and there are even ghostly variants floating in the dark corners.

Some of the books placed at the bottom have been soaked, with stick insect-like appendages growing from the inside of the books, sliding on the water surface, and even distorted human faces are reflected on the cover of the books.

but,

The sea has only infiltrated the library, not yet discovering the hidden door hidden behind the last shelf,

Across the secret door and secret passage, the deepest part of the memory palace, the [aquarium] used to bury deep memories... It is also an area that once blocked Yi Chen's consciousness, but now the roles are changing.

William self-imprisoned in the deepest part of the aquarium, even locking himself in a treasure chest and burying himself underwater, reducing his sense of existence as much as possible.

There is also a parasite in the treasure chest.

"Boss, do you really need to hide like this?Don't worry about Mr. Yi's situation?He tends to kill the flesh, and I'm afraid he is not suitable for dealing with the moonlight illusion. What if something goes wrong with him. 』

William, who was curled up in the treasure chest, didn't respond, but put his index finger between his lips, signaling Nash not to speak, not even to carry out voice transmission, all he had to do was wait.

……

An unnamed island surrounded by a sea of ​​silver.

Yi Chen has been here for an hour, but his own concept of time has long been blurred,
What he saw were not only lush trees and overgrown weeds,
There are even railroad tracks slowly appearing among the weeds, and a railroad train covered in vines and corpses in the wilderness.

Or a lighthouse that rises in the sky and has no power supply by chance in a glade,

Or the deserted village that suddenly came into view, inhabited by moon-headed dummies,

Or see a group of young people singing and dancing loudly around the bonfire, pulling off the moon's heads from each other, revealing the monster's true form under the light and shadow of the bonfire, not attacking Yi Chen, but having incomprehensible weird intercourse with each other.

All sorts of chaotic scenes could be behind the next tree,
Bizarre, but it feels reasonable.

Yi Chen was doing what he was best at killing along the way, and his body also changed as he killed monsters. He had picked out his own bones, gouged out his internal organs, or cut most of his body to pieces more than once. Cut them all off.

But Yi Chen is Yi Chen, and he would never ask for help no matter what, let alone ask William to come out and help him in a low voice.

He will find out the secrets of this island and solve this matter according to his own ideas.

But... chaos is still giving birth to chaos, and the concentration of chaos has gradually reached a level that even Yi Chen can't control.

I don't know how long it has been,
After passing through a section of woods, Yi Chen came to a deserted town, and did not see any monsters for the time being.

Ever since he came to the town, Yi Chen felt unwell on the physical level.
The clothing has become a little tight and airtight, especially the pressure on the neck is very clear, even if the tie is untied, it is uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, there is an abandoned clothing store next to him.

When Yi Chen stepped into the shop, he found that the dummies inside were all watching him, or coveting his clothes.

When he found a dressing mirror, Yi Chen was taken aback by the image projected inside!The collar of the costume turned into fingers, strangling his neck tightly.

He suddenly tore off the gentleman's clothes and beheaded him in the air.

The beheaded clothing fell to the ground like a living thing and twitched continuously, silver liquid flowed out from the lining of the clothing,
Even the gentleman's clothes controlled by Huangpi turned into 'fake'. Yi Chen himself didn't know when the clothes were replaced. It seemed that when the clothes were touched by a dummy in a certain village, or in When a branch scrapes your clothes.

turn around,
When he looked at himself naked in the mirror again, a voice came from his mind.

"Yichen, it's better to change me!"This kind of island shrouded in moonlight and blurring the real boundaries is not suitable for you. It was my mistake in judgment. I'm really sorry... Then let me take charge of the body. If Lorian shows up directly because of this, I will be in charge conversation.

There is no need to continue to hold on, you will only sink deeper and deeper, and even be assimilated by chaos. 』

"At this time, are you suddenly going to replace me again? 』Yi Chen was obviously upset.

"As I said, you are not suitable for this place... After all, when you were on the boat, you never imagined that this place would be so troublesome. Get back quickly, Yi Chen." 』

"William, I suggest you get a dog~ This kind of species is more docile and obedient, and you can do whatever you say. 』

Yi Chen forcibly cut off the connection with William's consciousness, and even blocked some functions of the epileptic brain. He picked up the hatchet and prepared to continue exploring the island in a shirtless state.

Unexpectedly, a strange thing happened, but William's voice continued to come out of the apparently blocked epileptic brain.

"Hahaha!You're on point, Yi Chen!
Aren't you just a dog?The orphanage cultivates a group of obedient dogs, and you are just the best one.

Because I couldn't stay in the world over there, I ran here to be my dog.

Since you are a dog, be honest and do what you are asked to do~ You can’t even tell the truth from the illusion, why are you still fighting with me here?Rubbish thing, get off now. 』

After a sarcasm full of words, the body began to split.

The 'second body' inlaid on the back was torn from the 'main body' back and forth, and the mask of the abyss also faded away.

The subject is William, strong, perfect and confident,
The second body is Yi Chen's consciousness storage place, thin, deformed and even without a mouth, curled up on the back for a long time and his body is rickety,
"Look at your appearance, Yi Chen! You are extremely ugly, with a disfigured face... Since you are so useless, I will kill you right here!

As for the deep memory you have sealed up, I will slowly spy on it after you die. "

The voice just fell,

William directly took out his gun. Bartosh fired an armor-piercing bullet at Yi Chen's forehead.

but,

Yi Chen, who seems to be underdeveloped, has constructed a set of pure black exoskeleton armor for himself through the materialization of killing intent, which has normal mobility.

At the same time, Yi Chen stretched out his hand and held the spine handaxe worn by William's waist in his hand, cutting the bullet in half directly in the air.

William's face was startled, and he hurriedly opened the distance with a Shunbu, and fired several more shots.

Ding Ding Ding!
Every bullet was cut with precision,
Yi Chen, who turned into a murderer, approached William instantly with the same footwork.
instant shot,

Five withered fingers sprang out like black snakes, grabbed William's face, pressed it firmly against the wall, and even slowly lifted it up.

Even so, William still kept smiling.

"Oh! You are indeed the best dog in the orphanage. Director Cao will be very happy to see you so good at killing people, right?"

After William uttered seriously hurtful words through his epileptic brain, he threw a whip leg at Yi Chen's head, trying to get out of trouble.

But... the ax is faster,

In other words, when William was held down on the face, he had already been put on the guillotine.

Swish!
【beheading】

William's head slowly slid down his neck, and the attack of death completely destroyed his insane brain, and his eyes gradually dimmed.

But... strangely enough...

When William's head fell, Yi Chen's vision also fell, and the two were almost parallel and fell heavily to the ground.

The concept of [death] was implanted, and the field of vision was gradually occupied by black. Yi Chen couldn't understand why he was going to die too. It was obviously William who died.

The final picture is fixed in the mirror of the clothes, and everything is calm.

in a few minutes

The two wooden mannequins in the clothing store began to vibrate, and finally activated,
They came to the mirror, one of them was responsible for carrying the body, the other was responsible for picking up the head, and brought the self-decapitated outsider to the depths of the island...
